Book Description
"Readers craving history entwined with their romance (a la Outlander) will find everything they desire in Jarecki's latest. Scottish romance fans rejoice." --RT Book Reviews She cannot resist the man behind the mask... As the illegitimate daughter of a Scottish earl, Lady Magdalen Keith is not one to partake in lavish balls or other frivolities. Yet at her father's urging, she agrees to dance with the battle-weary officers at this year's holiday masquerade. It's practically her civic duty! But when one such officer--whose dashing good looks cannot be disguised by a mere mask--sweeps her off her feet and into his arms, the innocent lass can't help herself. Her lips are his for the taking. But will he betray his country for a kiss? Navy lieutenant Aiden Murray has spent too many months at sea to be immune to the charms of this lovely beauty. Even after he returns to his ship, she lives in his dreams. But when he discovers Maddie's true identity-and learns that her father is accused of treason-will the brawny Scot risk his life to follow his heart? "This book hit all the right notes for me: swoon-worthy hero (oh, so, swoon-worthy); a sympathetic and capable heroine; intrigue and action scenes (fast paced); witty dialogue and banter; and sensual love scenes that grow the relationship. An excellent read." -- The Romance Dish

'A Very Fine Commander'
Author: John Donovan
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1844683443
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
A career soldier’s remarkable journey. “A first class military memoir of a leader who proved his mettle time and time again” (Pennant Magazine). The contrast between soldiering in peace and war is well illustrated by “Nap” Murray’s experiences. It took him sixteen years to reach the substantive rank of Major in 1938, but by 1944 he was an acting Lieutenant General. Murray’s fascinating memoirs, skillfully edited by his nephew, cover an extraordinary career from young officer service in India, China and Egypt to his experiences with the German Army in 1937 before the dramas of WW2. His accounts of action and injury in the early war years in France, North Africa, Sicily and Normandy prepare the reader for his long and distinguished record as a Divisional commander in Italy, Palestine, Catterick and finally the Commonwealth Division in Korea. It was Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery himself who described Murray as “a very fine commander”—praise indeed. A memoir can be very revealing about the character of its author. Entirely free of self-aggrandizement or pride, this book leaves the reader unsurprised at the success and popularity of its author. “What makes this autobiography particularly interesting is that Murray isn’t one of the better known officers or highest ranked generals, but instead was one of the surprisingly large number of generals who commanded brigades and divisions during the Second World War.” —HistoryOfWar.org “A very interesting read, giving a great insight into the career of a pre-war officer, mid-level command in the Second World War, and then post-war command in Korea

Wellington's Brigade Commanders
Author: Ron McGuigan
Publisher: Casemate Publishers
ISBN: 1473850800
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 421
Book Description
Recent research into the Duke of Wellington's armies during the Peninsular War and the Waterloo campaign has enhanced our understanding of the men he led, and this new biographical guide to his brigade commanders is a valuable contribution to this growing field. Ron McGuigan and Robert Burnham have investigated the lives and careers of a group of men who performed a vital role in Wellington's chain of command. These officers were the brigadiers and major generals who, for a variety of reasons, never made the jump to become permanent division commanders. Their characters, experience and level of competence were key factors in the successes and failures of the army as a whole. Their biographies give us a fascinating insight into their individual backgrounds, their strengths and weaknesses, and the makeup of the society they came from. Each biography features a table covering essential information on the individual, his birth and death dates, the dates of his promotions and details of his major commands. This is followed by a concise account of his life and service.
